Title: how much does it weigh?
Post by: RC on November 13, 2009, 02:54:00 PM
Howdy fellers,  I don`t have any decent scales and I`m just curious.How much does a 29.5 gold tip weigh with a regular aluminum insert and 200 grain point. 3 - 5.5 feathers also. They are the wood grain arrows if that matters.

  I`ve been shooting them with 100 grain inserts and shooting through everything but my arrows are sluggish from my 48@ 28 Widow. With the standard inserts the arrow flight is still perfect but a good bit flatter. I`m shooting the VPA 200 grain heads.Never hunted with arrows this lite but I think they`ll do good on deer and pigs if I put`m where they are supposed to go.I am hunting some fairly open bottoms and could use a bit flatter shooting set up.Thanks,RC.

The camo shafts set up like that will weigh 480 grains.  The traditionals should be a little over 500.

RC...505 grs.  That's a woodgrain 35/55 gold tip, 29 1/2" from throat of nock to bop, 4 4" parabolic feathers, 7" X 1" wrap with a 200 gr. broadhead (125 gr. 2 blade magnus on a 75 gr. steel adapter.) I shoot these out of a 46# A&H and a 44# Zipper foamcore/carbon longbow. The woodgrain gold tips are a bit heavier than camo or blk. ones.
